Cai Heng sullenly brought the holy decree back to the house.

At this time, Cai Ni was just ten years old, and he didn't know who Huan Yixuan was, so he didn't take this matter to heart for a while. It's only when I see my parents frowning about this that I vaguely feel that this is not a good thing. But he was puzzled, and said to his father, "Daddy, my daughter will marry sooner or later, and now that she has been married by holy decree, isn't it more glorious?" ”

Cai Heng stroked his daughter's hair and sighed, the well-behaved daughter he had painstakingly cultivated, he had hoped that she could become the crown prince and concubine and become the queen mother of the world in the future, but unexpectedly a Huan Yixuan suddenly came out. What's even more odious is that the imperial historian Wang Liangyu, an old horseman! They will do their best to deceive people by means of shady means.

"Ahh You are so smart and knowledgeable, if you marry a husband who doesn't know how to write and ink in the future, how can you live in this life? ”

Cai Ni read the sadness from his father's helpless tone, and he followed the sadness, and whispered softly in his father's arms, "Daddy." ”

When she gradually grew up, she recalled her father's words, and really understood why she was sad.

Huan Yixuan knelt down to receive the holy decree accompanied by his mother Li, and did not see joy or sorrow, and his face was unhappy. And when she turned around, she saw her mother groaning and laughing, and knew that she was glad about it.

"This old emperor has not forgotten my dead husband." touched Yixuan's head again and said, "Xuan'er, the emperor has found you a beautiful daughter-in-law, do you like it or not?" ”

Yoshixuan didn't look his mother in the eye, which meant he didn't intend to speak.

Li smiled again, "When you grow up, you will naturally like it." ”

Yixuan really hopes to grow up quickly, but not because he can feel the joy of getting married. He has always thought that when he grows up, he must be a completely different person from his father. Since the day he was born, everyone who knows him thinks that when he grows up, he will be like his father, becoming a generation of famous generals, sweeping Kyushu and conquering the four seas. But it really wasn't what he wanted to do, he didn't even want to do anything. He just wanted his father to be by his side all the time, but he died.

The moment his father closed his eyes, he looked into his father's eyes, a rare time he looked into someone's eyes without the urge to speak, and these were a pair of eyes that had been closed.

Four years later, in the summer, Yixuan witnessed a massacre.

He rode past the mansion of the former general Xie Jin'an, and suddenly heard the sound of crying and wailing. Many people were beheaded on the spot, their bloody heads rolling on the ground, staring straight at a pair of angry eyes, and refusing to close when they died. Rivers of blood flowed to low-lying places. It was the first time in his life that he saw such a bloody scene, and he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

After the civil strife subsided, Emperor Wu began to withdraw military power from the generals, and there were countless generals who were convicted of stealing their homes for no reason. Yixuan meditated, his father's official position was higher than that of everyone who died, and if he was still alive now, would he end up in a different place like them? His heart was shocked, and he remembered a terrible question, why did his father die for no reason?

The doctor who spoke knotted and trembled all over his body said that his father had died of a strange illness, but what was the strange disease? Why did I get a strange disease? My father has always been physically strong, how could he die of illness so easily? Deceitful! They're all lying! He began to think of the night before his father's death, when his father told him to study hard in the future, gain fame, and stop being a general with a knife and a gun like him.

He circled his horse and turned away, but he was reluctant to leave not far from the general's mansion.

Every time he thought about it, he got a terrible answer, and this time again, he didn't dare to believe himself in such a result. It's horrible! He was going to go back and ask his mother, who he thought knew everything. This time he was determined to find out.

Just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly felt that the horse had been hit by someone.

Then he saw a woman, about fifteen years old, only a little younger than himself. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked panicked, and she almost fainted when she saw that she bumped into him. He saw in her eyes what despair was. He thought about the dark slaughter in the general's mansion, and then he understood everything, and suddenly felt compassion, and silently reined in his horse to make way for her.

He saw her face change from surprise to surprise, and then he was indescribably grateful, and he was not in a hurry to run for his life for a while. He noticed her gorgeous clothes and guessed her identity somewhat. Without thinking much about it, he untied the money bag on his body, bent down and stuffed it into the woman's hand. The two looked at each other in a daze, and they both remembered each other's faces deeply.

After thinking about it, Yixuan took off the jade pendant he was wearing again and handed it to the woman.

I saw her holding it in her hand and looking at it for a long time, and her eyes fell on the word "Huan". Looking at it in a daze, he suddenly panicked and handed the jade pendant back to Yixuan. "No! will be recognized......"

Yixuan's face didn't matter, he didn't believe that the person who forced his father to death would not let him go.

"Don't be afraid! You find a safe place and quickly take it as you can, you can exchange as much as you can, you don't have to keep it, and it always doesn't hurt to bring more money with you when you go out. ”

The woman still insisted on refusing to ask for it, "If they find this jade pendant from me, won't it affect the son?" ”

Yixuan suddenly shuddered and saw two officers and soldiers chasing in front of him. The woman was shocked. Yixuan bent down to support her and said, "You go quickly, I'll kill them." ”

The woman was taken aback, but she didn't dare to stay for a long time, and said, "Master Huan's great kindness, I will report it in the next life." Then he turned around and reluctantly left.

Yixuan rushed to the front of the officers and soldiers, and killed them all with two swords.

When the officers and soldiers were killed, how could the government ignore them, but the officers and soldiers who were killed were the sons of the founding fathers, so they did not dare to arrest people casually, and sent someone to report to the criminal department first.

Yixuan walked to his house without a sound, and a team of officials followed behind him, seeing that Yixuan had entered the Huan Mansion, they didn't dare to go in, so they had to guard outside the mansion.

When Yixuan saw his mother, he said lightly, "Mother, the child just killed two officials. ”

Li Shi was shocked, pointed at Yi Xuan and reprimanded, "You! Look at what good things you've done, you've learned to kill? ”

Yixuan made an "um" sound, indicating that yes, I learned to kill. Cai said unhurriedly, "It's not difficult to learn to kill." ”

After hearing this sentence, Li Shi was really angry, "You are deliberately trying to anger your mother!" When your father was dying, he told you to be a good man, but you took it as the wind in your ears! ”

"How did Daddy die?" Yixuan asked suddenly.

Li Shi was startled, took a breath and said, "Didn't the imperial doctor say that he had to die of a strange illness." ”

"What kind of strange disease is that?" ”

Li said, "The imperial doctor didn't say it, how could my mother know?" You won't ask me about it anymore, you know? ”

"No!" Yi Xuan shouted, "The Imperial Doctor doesn't know what strange disease Daddy has, and I know that the name of this strange disease is Gong Gao Gai Lord!" ”

Li Shi was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to gag Yixuan's mouth tightly, and choked up, "You don't want to die, do you?" Mother doesn't want you to care about how your father died, you are now the only blood and bone he left, Mother only needs you to live well. After a pause, he finally roared in a tearing voice, "Do you still listen to your mother?" ”

When Yoshixuan found out that his mother was a hundred times more hurt than he was in the death of his father, he couldn't help but feel remorse in his heart, and he shouldn't have brought it up again to make her sad. Never. He found that since his father's death, his mother had suddenly aged a lot. It's even more difficult to make her smile if she doesn't feel sad or happy all day long.

"I'll be obedient." Yi Xuanqiang couldn't hold back and didn't cry, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, it's the child who is unfilial, which makes you sad, and never again." ”

Li wiped away her tears, and her son's words made her feel a little relieved, and turned to go into the inner room. After a long time, he came out in the court clothes of Mrs. Yipin, holding the royal gold medal that entered the palace in his hand, and preached to Yixuan, "You are so good to stay at home, don't go out to make trouble for me again, our Huan family's face will be a little less if you use a little now." After saying these words, I suddenly saw the butler running in in a hurry.

"Madame, no! Big things are wrong! ”

Li shouted, "Shut up for me!" Even if the sky falls, there is no need to panic like this. ”

After steady, he asked the butler, "Tell me quickly, what's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper came back to his senses and said, "The Criminal Department has sent someone to surround our entire Huan Mansion!" ”

Li Shi let out a faint "um" and said to the housekeeper, "You can step down." He turned around and called Yixuandao, "Xuan'er, you go to the door with your mother to take a look, and see who dares to bring someone to arrest my son." ”

The biggest official outside the door was Chen Huainan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was pacing around in front of the steps but did not dare to break into the Huan Mansion to arrest people, and when he saw the Li family walking out in court clothes, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Huan ......"

Li snorted and said coldly, "People have just lost their breath, and even flies dare to bully their heads." ”

Hearing that Chen Huainan was so good, I thought, seeing that you are dressed like this, you must be going to enter the palace, I will arrest people as soon as you leave, see what you can do to me? Then he turned away and snorted.

Li also felt troubled, if he had been guarding the door of his house, he had to take his son into the palace to see the emperor. But this time it seems to be too much, I haven't seen anyone who dares to bring a murderer to the emperor to ask for forgiveness, maybe the old emperor will really not give face to the Huan family. As he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a carriage coming in front of him.

The person who came turned out to be Prime Minister Cai Heng.

Cai Heng didn't even glance at Chen Huainan, so he walked straight to the Li family and said, "Mrs. Huan is going to enter the palace?" ”

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Well, it's just that there is a swarm of flies at home, and I can't rest assured that I am leaving." ”

Cai Heng said, "Mrs. Huan just go, here I Cai someone is watching, no matter what kind of flies he can't fly into Huan's mansion." ”

With this sentence, Li was relieved to leave.

It turns out that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The son of the founding general Huan Bin killed someone, and in a matter of moments, it spread throughout Jiankang City. At this time, Cai Ni already understood what her fiancé meant, and after hearing the news, she couldn't help but be frightened and hurriedly went to find his father.

Although Cai Heng does not have a good impression of his future son-in-law, the emperor's holy decree is like a mountain, and his daughter will always be his wife in the future. What's worse is that Chen Huainan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a member of the faction of Wang Liangyu, the imperial historian, if he declares a capital crime for Huanyi, wouldn't he let his daughter become a widow in advance? So he couldn't sit idly by.

He didn't say anything to Chen Huainan, but he didn't see Huan Yixuan come forward to salute him for a long time, so he was so angry, he turned around and said coldly, "Gongzi Huan is arrogant!" "Hmph, it's reasonable to be arrogant, you don't have the talent to learn and learn from others' arrogance, don't you know what shame is?

But when he saw Yixuan's "hum", he turned around and left without saying a word.

"How can it be!" Cai Heng scolded in a low voice, and in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Huainan secretly laughing.
